Pima Effect

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Only one ghit, on another Wikipedia page, Efrain Escudero. WP:MADEUP or WP:HOAX. Mr. Vernon (talk) 03:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, its not a hoax, or made up. The term is used quite frequently within the MMA community. Most of the time it is used by MMA sports journalists, and was even mentioned by Mike Goldberg on Spike TV during The Ultimate Fighter finale.
 * Valid Article

In fact, since that very night there have been many fans wanting to know what The Pima Effect is. Message boards get flooded with this question. So I decided to create an article. Thought I was helping out.

I'm not very good at making articles, sorry if it does not look very good. I'm still editing it to make it look more professional. But you marked it for deletion within the first couple minutes of its creation. So I hadn't had a chance to perfect it yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IcyB (talk • contribs) 03:35, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment There is only ONE ghit for "pima effect"; I'd think there would be more if message boards were being "flooded" with the question. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 03:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, only 8 ghits for the term gives a clue that it is not a well known term, it is a possible hoax or WP:NEOLOGISM. If it does become well known, I think a sentance on the Pima school or on Efrain Escudero. Tavix (talk) 04:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

It was Escudero's wikipedia that popularized the term. No they were being flooded because it was Efrain Escudero who was being featured on Spike TV. Up until that point the term was rarely used. But ever since Escudero got the term mentioned on Live Television people have been asking about the term, and as such it has been used much more frequently. Escudero popularized the term, perhaps because of his wikipedia. I think once the term is actually properly defined, it will be linked to the other fighters.

I don't think a term can be properly added to other MMA fighters wikipedia's until it has one itself. Now that there is a wikipedia for the term, I think it justifies adding the term to the Varner, Fickett, Forbes, Martinez, Roop, Hightower, Pima, and RITC articles.

I am still making the article, I'll add a referance section. Just give me time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IcyB (talk • contribs) 03:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Pima Community College. This is nothing more than a trivia item.  There is no real "effect" to explain, only some coincidences. I'm sure this is understood by the people using the expression and they are just joking around. Northwestgnome (talk) 06:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as a non notable neologism. Wikipedia is not the place for things made up one day at school - not even if they're merged into valid articles. Nuttah (talk) 18:29, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete nn neologism. JJL (talk) 18:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
